January 31, 2002
Riverside Centroplex Arena

Luna Vachon: “Heh heh heh, Brock Lesnar you might have think you’ve won the war…but you’ve seen nothing, NOTHING, yet. Bam Bam is here for more destruction…and I’ve got someone else, someone else tonight that’s going to only add to the blood. TONIGHT, you Brock Lesnar, and you Shelton Benjamin, you’ll pay for what you’ve done WITH YOUR BLOOD!”

***



The theme of ECW plays, and then we cut to Joey Styles.

Joey Styles: “Hello everyone I’m Joey Styles. It’s the week after Souled Out and we’re following up the ECW World Championship last Sunday with a huge tag team match tonight as Luna Vachon has someone teaming with Bam Bam Bigelow to take on Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin. But first, we kick things off with a two vs. three handicap match!”

::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


We cut to somewhere near some gothic styled buildings…

Raven: “Last Sunday at Souled Out, I faced and overcame one of my greatest demons. Before Souled Out, I would look in the mirror and I’d want to scream and cry and puke. I was humiliated, ashamed, embarrassed. I had experienced loss. I had experienced pain. I had seen what Billy Kidman had become and while some pride did cross my person, the devastation to my psyche hurt me more than any normal man can imagine. But that was before Souled Out. Now that I’ve crossed paths with Kidman I see that he’s the one who lost out. He’s the one that needs guidance. He’s the one who needs to pray that god has mercy on his soul!”

“All that’s left now is the next battle of the war. Every war has a flag to capture, and for this battle it is the ECW World Championship. Brock Lesnar you may think being the trophy holder for ECW makes you extreme, but this line of thinking will be your undoing. To those who based themselves on sanity and light, all they see is you on top. But those clothed in madness and the shadows understand that when they cross paths with me, the end result is sorrow and woe. No one, not even a monstrous beast like you Brock Lesnar, can defeat the hands of fate. So it is written, so it shall come to pass. Quote the Raven….nevermore!”

***

ECW World Champion Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin makes their way to the ring as we see highlights from the ECW World Championship match at Souled Out.

Joey Styles: “This kid Shelton Benjamin SAVED Brock Lesnar last Sunday. Benjamin was one of Lesnar’s coaches in college and they teamed in Ohio Valley Wrestling, so I guess it’s no surprise Paul Heyman brought him in help Lesnar…yeah I said it, we know Heyman’s dirty at this point! Anyway, word is Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley made this match at Luna Vachon’s request. Hell, I wish Luna was in this match, I’d frankly move to see her kick Benjamin’s ass!”

We hear the Brood music…as Luna…Gangrel?! appear from a circle of flames…and Bam Bam Bigelow is right behind them!

Gangrel and Bam Bam Bigelow (w/ Luna Vachon) vs. Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin

Lesnar looks amused at Gangrel, and Gangrel responds by spitting his red drink (blood?) in Lesnar’s face…then cracks him over the head with the goblet! Bam Bam jumps right on Lesnar, pounding away on him, as Gangrel punches away at Benjamin. Tiger suplex from Gangrel to Benjamin, and Benjamin slides to the outside. Lesnar, who was busted open from the goblet shot, also bails to the outside as Bigelow pounded on him. Luna Vachon takes a chair and tries to hit Lesnar, but Benjamin stops her by grabbing it! Gangrel comes off the apron with an axhandle smash, and Bigelow punches away at Lesnar on the outside. Lesnar reverses a whip though and Bigelow goes flying into the ringpost. Lesnar smashes Gangrel in the back with the chair before rolling him back into the ring.

Lesnar props Gangrel up and hits him with huge shoulder thrusts. Belly to belly suplex sends Gangrel flying across the ring. Lesnar takes the chair and smashes it right over Gangrel’s head! Lesnar laughs before putting Gangrel on his shoulders for the F5…but Luna Vachon whacks him in the back with the steel chair! Lesnar puts Gangrel down and grabs Luna by the hair, and then puts her on his shoulders…but Gangrel cracks Lesnar in the face with the chair! Gangrel sets Lesnar up for the Impaler, but Shelton Benjamin springboards off the top rope and flies across the ring, hitting Gangrel with a clothesline! Benjamin sets Gangrel up and powerbombs him into the turnbuckles! Cover, 1…2…Bam Bam breaks it up. Bam Bam pounds away on Benjamin, but Shelton stops him with a superkick.

Winners: Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin when Lesnar pinned Gangrel in 8:04


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Joey Styles: “We don’t have any more matches scheduled, but Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin are still in the ring. Oh man, you mean we’re going to actually hear Lesnar talk?”

Brock Lesnar: “I hope people are starting to realize where the power lies in ECW!”

“I don’t respect a lot of people. I don’t give a shit about your Terry Funks or Tazz or Ravens or whatever. Raven wants to fight? I’ll kick his ass! Terry Funk wants to crawl out of his grave and fight me? I’ll put him back in it! But this guy right here, Shelton Benjamin, this guy is the real deal. I wouldn’t rely on a lot of people to watch my back, but this guy’s been doing it for years!”

The crowd is having none of it…chanting “SHUT THE FUCK UP!” SHUT THE FUCK UP!”

Brock Lesnar: “You people shut your mouths or I’ll go out there and kick ass your asses!”

Tazz’s music plays and here he comes! The chant turns into “FUCK ‘EM UP TAZZ FUCK ‘EM UP!”

Tazz: “You’re lucky I don’t choke your ass out right now for even putting my name in your mouth! You come out here, and you talk a big game. Yet every single time I see you out there someone has to save your ass! First it was Heyman. Last Sunday it was this bitch here (*points to Benjamin*)! So you want to call me out?! Then let’s go Lesnar! Come on!”

Lesnar walks right up to Tazz, and like with Gangrel earlier laughs at him. Lesnar makes fun of the height difference, but Tazz isn’t done talking.

Tazz: “Laugh all you want Lesnar. But when you muster up the balls to face me, you’ll learn the meaning of beat me if you can, survive if I let you!”

Lesnar, upon hearing the shot at his manhood, gets serious and stares down Tazz…but here comes Rob Van Dam!

Rob Van Dam: “Hey, let’s all call it like it is. I had Brock Lesnar beat at Starrcade. Now I didn’t come out here and complain about it because hey, I knew I’d get another shot. But I think it’s time to force the issue. I think it’s time that everybody’s favorite wrestler, Rob Van Dam gets that injustice wiped out, and gets his ECW World title shot!”

Brock Lesnar: “I have no problem kicking both of your asses, but I ain’t doing it tonight. You’ll have to take it up with Paul.”

Tazz: “You know I called Benjamin a bitch before, but you’re the real bitch here Lesnar! You called me out! I’m here…

Total Impact jumps Tazz and Rob Van Dam! Lesnar and Benjamin leave, as Justin Credible, Lance Storm and Mike Awesome put the boots on Tazz and RVD! But then “ENTER SANDMAN” plays!

Joey Styles: “It’s The Sandman! It’s the Sandman! We haven’t seen The Sandman since Starrcade when Total Impact took him, Tommy Dreamer and Spike Dudley out! But he’s coming for Total Impact!”

Sandman whacks Awesome upside his head with the Singapore Cane, and catches Credible too before Lance Storm gets out of there! The Sandman stands tall as RVD and Tazz try to recover…and up above in the rafters…we see Raven watching everything that’s going on!

Jeremy Borash: “Thank you Scott. Diamond Dallas Page after eight days did you think you’d still be dealing with William Regal?”

Diamond Dallas Page: “Can’t say I’m surprised that guys like Regal, Tajiri and Fit Finlay are going to be sore losers about this thing. Whether it’s the match at Souled Out, or even Tajiri losing out on this gorgeous human being named Torrie Wilson, these guys just can’t let it go. And that’s fine, whatever. No need to cry over spilled milk. Fact of the matter is, if those three want to fight, let’s fight. I’ve got Chuck Palumbo and Sean O’Haire watching my back. The best young tag team in wrestling! These guys remind me of myself. Hard working, super athletic, and passionate about being in that ring and doing the right thing! So Regal, Finlay, Tajiri, you wanna deal with Palumbo and O’Haire?

***

We head backstage where Kevin Kelly is with Booker T.

Kevin Kelly: “Booker T we are only moments away from the fatal four way match tonight. Are you ready to take on two of the all-time greats in Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin, as well as the reigning WCW United States Champion Christian?”

Booker T: “You’re damn right I’m ready Kelly! All these guys, Triple H, Austin, Christian, none of them lived WCW like I did. None of them breathed WCW like I did! From my perspective, all of them, and Kurt Angle, they are succeeding off the work that I did for years. But that’s okay, that’s fine. I know that nothing is handed to anyone here and that I’ve got to earn it, and that’s what I’m going to do tonight. I’m the six-time, six-time, six-time WCW World champion, and I won’t be stopped until I get seven. And that starts tonight. Austin, HHH, Christian, they’re all suckas and tonight I’m taking them all out! No can you dig that….”

R-Killa slowly walks over to Booker.

R-Killa: “Are you kidding me? Hahahaha. Yeah, me and you, we don’t get handouts. But you think everyone else out there works as hard as me and you? That’s funny! That’s hilarious. Who are you kiddin’? Once you get close Book, they gonna drop you like a bad habit. Trust me, I would know!”

Booker T: “What you talkin’ about man?”

R-Killa: “You really are clueless man. That’s how I know you ain’t nothin. You ain’t tough. In here, they protect you for now, sure, but eventually you’ll be nothin’ to them. I already know. You talk about earning everything, but I’ve actually done it. And I’ve got someone coming who’s had to do the same thing. I’ll see you around Book."

Booker T looks on as R-Killa walks off, but R-Killa is still laughing as he walks away as Booker shakes his head.


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


We see William Regal, Tajiri and Fit Finlay backstage near the parking lot. Regal talks to Tajiri and Finlay.

William Regal: “If those three miserable toeracks want to fight, we’ll give them a fight. That they’ve done to you Tajiri isn’t right and those two, O’Haire and Palumbo, clearly disrespect….”

Diamond Dallas Page: “HEY REGAL!”

ECW RISE
February 7, 2002
Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Coliseum
Jacksonville, FL

RISE kicks off with Paul Heyman talking to some production people backstage…when Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley arrives!

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley: “Paul, I have big news tonight. I want to see you in the ring as soon as possible!”



The theme of ECW plays, and then we cut to Joey Styles.

Joey Styles: “Hello everyone I’m Joey Styles. We have a huge six-man tag team war to main event the show tonight as it’s Total Impact against Rob Van Dam, Tazz and The Sandman! Plus, as we just saw, ECW owner Stephanie McMahon Helmsley has something to tell us and I bet it has to do with whatever she and Shane McMahon discussed on Nitro! Anyway we kick things off with the Cruiserweight Championship on the line against someone who’s making their ECW debut! That’s right, we are about to witness the ECW debut of one Brian Christopher as he comes out now. By the looks of it, it looks like the whole Grandmaster Sexay persona is in the past!”

WCW Cruiserweight Championship
Jerry Lynn © (W/AJ Styles) vs. Brian Christopher

Christopher ducks the tie-up attempt, then starts dancing (which includes his annoying cackle). Lynn and Christopher lock-up upon the second time and Lynn pushes Christopher in the corner and stomps away. European uppercut from Lynn, and then he hits a backbreaker! Cover, 1…2…Christopher kicks out and slides to the outside, complaining that Lynn held the tights. This is ECW, so the referee doesn’t seem to care. Lynn heads to the outside and chases Christopher around the ring. Christopher slides back in as does Lynn, and Lynn catches a kick. Christopher hits the enzugiri! Cover, 1…2…Lynn kicks out. Christopher clotheslines Lynn to the outside and follows up with a baseball slide! Christopher yells “you idiots want to see extreme?” and bulldogs Lynn on the floor! Christopher slides Lynn back in and goes for a sunset flip over the ropes, only Lynn jumps and hits a guillotine legdrop!

Lynn fires away at Christopher and hits a belly to back suplex. Sidewalk slam from Lynn. Cover, 1…2…Christopher kicks out. Lynn props Christopher up on the top rope. He goes for the top rope frankensteiner, but Christopher counters into a sitout powerbomb! 1…2…Jerry Lynn just kicks out! DDT from Christopher! Christopher badmouths AJ Styles on the outside, but Lynn misses a dropkick when trying to take advantage! Neckbreaker from Christopher! Christopher heads to the top rope…missile dropkick connects! Cover, 1…2…Lynn just kicks out! Christopher says that’s it…then hits Lynn with a Rocker Dropper! 1…2…Jerry Lynn manages to kick out once again! Christopher picks Lynn up for a slam, but Lynn slides behind and hits an inverted DDT, and both men are lie on the canvas.

Christopher and Lynn slug away at one another. Lynn hits the ropes and catches Christopher with a flying headscissors! He hooks Christopher up for a bulldog, but Christopher stops his momentum and hits a belly to back suplex! Christopher follows up with a Northern Lights Suplex, 1…2…Lynn bridges up to a vertical base! Christopher sends Lynn off the ropes, but Lynn hooks the head on a backdrop attempt and hits a running DDT! Lynn heads to the top rope, but he misses the top rope legdrop! Brian Christopher now heads to the top rope himself…but he also misses The Tennessee Jam, his version of the top rope legdrop! Lynn kicks Christopher, then plants him with the Cradle Piledriver! 1…2…3!

Winner: Jerry Lynn via pinfall in 9:50

Joey Styles: “What a debut for Brian Christopher, but he comes up just short in trying to claim gold as Jerry Lynn gets the win. I see Paul Heyman is coming down to the ring but we need to pay some bills!”


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Joey Styles: “Welcome back to RISE as Paul Heyman is in the ring…and here comes the boss, here comes Stephanie."

Paul Heyman: “I must say you are looking absolutely fantastic tonight Stephanie…”

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley: “Cut it out Paul. Let’s just get right down to it. The way I see things, you’re on thin ice!”

Paul Heyman: “Me? What did I do?”

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley: “What did you do? You know running things at this level means you need to show some objectivity. For all the talk about you being this messiah of extreme and all the stories about you putting everything you had into ECW I must say I’m surprised how much favoritism you’ve shown Brock Lesnar since the very first episode of RISE! Is that how you’re viewing things Paul? Was ECW your meal ticket until you met Brock? Because I don’t care if you are the face of ECW for the last decade, I’ll be damned to have your games wreck my investment! Just because you lived and breathed ECW all these years doesn’t mean you’re doing good by it now.”

Paul Heyman: “Stephanie, please. Please don’t fire me!”

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley: “I’m not going to fire you Paul. But consider this your warning! No more hijinks like Souled Out! ECW is about to embark on the most exciting couple months in its history and you need to be on the top of your game from a management perspective! Next month in March, there’s a WCW branded Pay-Per-View event called Uncensored. Well, as of this moment, as a result of an agreement between my brother Shane and myself, ECW will be headlining Uncensored! So, Paul, you want to keep your job? I want you to determine what that main event will be. And I want to know by next week.”

Paul Heyman: “That sounds great, I’ll get right on it!”

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley: “We’re not done here. I want to give you some perspective about Uncensored, because the roll ECW will be on, it won’t end there. I’ve done my research. I’m went over all the assets. In April, ECW will do more than just headline a Pay-Per-View. In April, five years after the original, ECW Barely Legal returns to Pay-Per-View! And again, Paul, you need to be on your game these next few months so that all of this, Uncensored, Barley Legal and beyond, is all a success for ECW. Now while you work out the Uncensored main event, I’m going to tell you how things are going to go down at SuperBrawl. We’re going to come full circle. It’s one of the biggest shows of the year, and for sure the ECW World Championship needs to be on the line. And I already know who the #1 Contender should be.”

Paul Heyman: “How, who?”

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley: “Coming full circle. Brock Lesnar has been a dominant force as ECW World Champion. He’s exactly the kind of athlete ECW has needed. But, calling it like I and many others saw it, two months ago he was beat!”

Paul Heyman: “No, no, come’on, Steph.”

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley: “It will be, at SuperBrawl, Brock Lesnar defending the ECW World Championship against Rob Van Dam! But to make things interesting. To spice things up, next week on RISE. It’s going to be Van Dam against Shelton Benjamin. If Rob wins, he gets to choose the stipulation for SuperBrawl, but if Benjamin wins, then Lesnar will get to choose. And if Brock gets involved? I’ll award the title to Rob Van Dam right on the spot! Now we’ve got a lot of work to do Paul! Get back there and do your job!”

Joey Styles: “…what did we just hear? Main event at Uncensored? A second Barely Legal? Lesnar vs. RVD II at SuperBrawl? Oh my god!”


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


We return to RISE in a trailer park somewhere…

Jamie Noble: “Yo, Kash money!”

Kid Kash: “Yeah Jamie.”

Jamie Noble: “I’m just…I’m just sick of that R-Killa. Always getting involved in our business you know. I’ve had enough of him.”

Kid Kash: “Yeah man. Next change I get I’m kicking his ass.”

Jamie Noble: “Yeah me too! Let’s just lay it out now. I doubt he has friends. But if he’s got one, let’s do the dance at SuperBrawl! Me and Kash money over here against whoever you got R-Killa!”

Kid Kash: “Hell yeah. I’m with it Jamie.”

Scott Hudson: “Ladies and Gentlemen before our next contest, we need to address the news that Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley mentioned on RISE. Next month, at WCW Uncensored, ECW will have the main event slot. Now who knows that that means specifically! I’m sure there will be more information next week on ECW Hardcore TV.”

Mike Tenay: “Speaking of ECW RISE, we saw the ECW debut of one Brian Christopher, son of Memphis legend Jerry “The King” Lawler. You may know him better as Grandmaster Sexay. He and Essa Rios are scheduled to go one-on-one here, and both have aspirations to become WCW Cruiserweight Champion.”

Winner: Brian Christopher via pinfall in 8:47


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Scott Hudson: “Let’s go back to what transpired on Nitro. We had two huge main events. The first of which had WCW World Champion Kurt Angle successfully defend the championship against Test. Now, he seemed to perhaps get some indirect help as The Giant came down and would chase Test off…and that did seem to distract Test at that moment. Later that night, we had a Fatal Four Way Match to determine who would face Angle at SuperBrawl XII. WCW United States Champion Christian, Booker T, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H went at it. At the end, Christian was pinned by both Austin and Triple H. I don’t know if this will lead to a match between the two before hand or what. One thing is for sure, is that Shane McMahon will tell us what’s going on for SuperBrawl! SuperBrawl XII is just 15 days away from the home of WCW, the Georgia Dome in Atlanta!”

Lance Storm (w/Dawn Marie) vs. Nova (w/The Hurricane)

Nitro cuts backstage to Jeremy Borash with Diamond Dallas Page and Torrie Wilson.

Jeremy Borash: “Tonight Diamond Dallas Page you take on the team of William Regal and Test with an old friend of yours, The Giant.”

Diamond Dallas Page: “That’s right that’s right Jeremy just like old times. Tonight Regal, I got the Big G on my side just like the old WCW vs. NWO days. And while I personally can’t wait to finish all this at SuperBrawl, I gotta admit, having a seven-foot, 500-pound giant watching my back tonight is a pretty damn good feeling. Regal, it disgusts me what you’ve done to this lovely lady here, and while I don’t know much about you Test from what I’ve seen you’re just as much as a scumbag. So if the Giant doesn’t get to you first, I’ve got a Diamond Cutter waiting for you! And Regal, I’ve always got one ready for scum like you. BANG!”


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Kevin Kelly knocks on Shane McMahon’s office door, and Shane answers.

Kevin Kelly: “Shane McMahon is there any update about the status of the #1 Contender to the WCW World Championship?”

Shane McMahon: “What do you think, I’m back there doing nothing Kelly? Not only is there an update, by the end of the show tonight, the end of Nitro, everyone will know the main event of SuperBrawl. Is that good for you Kelly?”

Kevin Kelly: Yes, but…”

Shane McMahon: “That’s all I got for you for now Kelly.”

WCW Cruiserweight Championship – One Fall
Jerry Lynn © (w/AJ Styles) vs. Taka Michinoku vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Brian Christopher

Chavo comes flying off the second rope to the outside, but he only grazes Christopher. Lynn stomps away at Taka, but misses a dropkick and Taka catches him with a slap to the face. Taka then leaps to the top rope and takes Christopher out with a springboard plancha! Chavo slides in and attacks Lynn. Chavo locks Lynn in the Goro Guerrero Special.

Taka then German suplexes Chavo, but Chavo lands on his feet. Chavo tries the same, and Taka also lands on his feet!

Christopher heads to the top rope, but Lynn pushes Taka out of the way and gets hit with Christopher’s missile dropkick. Christopher coves Lynn, 1…2…Chavo breaks it up.

Jeremy Borash is with Ivory backstage.

Jeremy Borash: “Earlier tonight Ivory you attacked Molly Marvel after her victory over La Felina…”

Ivory: “That’s right! All these girls in this tournament think they’re going to be champion at SuperBrawl and they’re not. They’re not. You wanna know why?”

Jeremy Borash: “Why?”

Ivory: “Because none of these ladies, none of them have ever been at the top. I have! I’ve been a World Women’s Champion, multiple times at that. Molly is out there playing superhero and suddenly thinks she can be the champion. Well tonight, I showed her. And in thirteen days I’ll show them all!”

Jazz walks up to Ivory and Borash.

Jazz: “Look, what you did to Molly tonight, I don’t really care. But if you touch me, I’ll whip your ass.”

Ivory: “Oh yeah? What’s so special about you?”

Jazz: “You gonna find out in thirteen days. Molly, you and whomever else is in the match going to get their ass kicked whether you like it or not!”

Ivory at first looks to fight, but backs away as Jazz doesn’t back down at all.

Jeremy Borash: “Alright guys back to you.”

***

Scott Hudson: “Thank you Jeremy. Coming up next, a battle between former WCW World Tag Team Champions. Over the past couple of weeks, Kronik have had some chemistry issues and mishaps. They’ve failed twice on pay-per-view to win the titles. They were shockingly upset by Trailer Park Kash, Jamie Noble and Kid Kash. Last week they went down to the mighty Legion of Doom. Tonight, they go one-on-one.”

William Regal: “Perhaps you think you’re punishing me but that’s okay with us. By the time we’re done with him, that filth Diamond Dallas Page won’t even make it to SuperBrawl. And Shane…”

Shane McMahon: “Mr. McMahon.”

William Regal: “…Mr. McMahon…just know that dealing with the likes of DDP will be doing you a favor in the long run.”

::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


“The Game” plays as Triple H makes his way down to the ring.

Triple H: “I’ve come down here just to get an up-close and personal viewing of Shane McMahon’s announcement that at SuperBrawl it will be me, “The Game” going up against Kurt Angle for The WCW World Championship. So come on out Shane. We’ve been waiting all night, hell, I’VE been waiting all damn week. I’m the one who pinned Christian last week in the four-way. I’m the one who pinned Steve Austin at Souled Out. So get your ass out here now and give me what I’ve earned!”

Shane McMahon comes down to the ring, and its obvious Triple H doesn’t like the look on Shane’s face.

Triple H: “I swear to go Shane, I don’t give a damn that you’re my brother-in-law I’ll kick your ass right now if you don’t give me that damn match!”

Shane McMahon: “Just calm down, alright. Jeez. I went back and I watched what happened last week. And I’ve come down to one conclusion….”

“Venomous” plays as Stone Cold Steve Austin is on his way to the ring!

Stone Cold Steve Austin: “Shane McMahon if you don’t mind, I’d also like to stand here real close and personal here to make sure I hear the words that Stone Cold Steve Austin is going off to SuperBrawl to regain his WCW World Championship. And if that son-of-a-bitch gets even remotely close to me I’ll whip his ass right now!”

Shane McMahon: “Neither of you are going to be putting hands on anyone, because if you do, neither of you will wrestle at SuperBrawl for anything!”

Triple H: “What? Neither?”

Shane McMahon: “I don’t care about what happened before last week. Last week’s four-way match was to determine who would face Kurt Angle at SuperBrawl and we didn’t get a decisive decision. I could put you two against one another again, but then we wouldn’t have a title match now would we? Therefore Kurt Angle will defend the WCW United States Championship against both Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin!”

Stone Cold Steve Austin: “That sounds good with Stone Cold.”

Triple H: “Me too. Another chance to beat his [Stone Cold’s] ass and win the WCW World Title.”

Stone Cold Steve Austin: “Beat my ass? You’re going to be lucky if I let you get to SuperBrawl.”

Shane McMahon: “You won’t do anything! If either of you attack one another or Kurt Angle, and if Angle does the same, they’ll be removed from the SuperBrawl match!”

Austin and Triple H get in one another’s faces when “Medal” plays and WCW World Champion Kurt Angle makes his way down to the ring!

Kurt Angle: “I must say, Shane McMahon, you did a pretty damn good job here. Triple H, well I know I can beat you. And Steve Austin, hey, not many people have made you tap out before but I’m one of them. And I’ll be ready to do it again at SuperBrawl.”

Stone Cold Steve Austin: “You better be careful because I’ll slap the damn taste out of your mouth son first chance I get in two weeks!”

Kurt Angle: “Look, neither of you realize this, but I do. You guys are both among the all-time greats. But it’s not the 90s anymore. Hell it’s not even 2000 anymore. It’s time to move on. So if I have to cripple both of you to make the business move on I’ll be sure to do it. Let me make something perfectly clear. I’m the best wrestler in the entire world. And I have the belt to prove it. I plan to hold onto this title as long as I’m still breathing. And if one of you manage to win the match by beating the other? Well, I promise the next night I’ll be back for my title. Now I cam out here to fight, but Shane McMahon says we can’t do that. So after tonight, I’m going to prepare harder than I ever have before. You two are among the all-time greats. But it’s my time now, and that’s the bottom line…because KURT ANGLE SAID SO!”

Shane McMahon stands between a tense Austin and Triple H, as Kurt Angle poses with the WCW World Championship on top of the ramp as Nitro goes off the air!

ECW RISE
February 14, 2002
Ice Palace
Tampa, FL

Brock Lesnar: “This is bullshit Paul!”

Paul Heyman: “Brock, you beat Van Dam before, you can do it again. When Shelton wins tonight we’ll come up with the best possible match for you. Something where Rob Van Dam won’t stand a chance.”

Brock Lesnar: (To Shelton Benjamin) “You better win tonight!”



The theme of ECW plays, and then we cut to Joey Styles.

Joey Styles: “Hello everyone I’m Joey Styles! We know the ECW World Championship match for SuperBrawl is signed it will be ECW World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar defending against Rob Van Dam. But in what kind of match? We find out tonight when Van Dam takes on Shelton Benjamin! If Van Dam wins, he gets to choose. If Benjamin wins, Lesnar gets to choose! Here comes Trailer Park Kash as we open tonight with a tag team match!”

Trailer Park Kash vs. Yang and Kaz Hayashi (w/ Taka Michinoku)

The match starts quickly with Noble misses a clothesline and coming off the ropes. Noble blocks Yang’s head scissors attempt and turns it into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker!

Hayashi takes Noble to the top rope, and drops him with a face first suplex to the canvas! Hayashi runs at Noble, but Noble catches him with a dropkick,then tags in Kash! Kash hits Hayashi with a backbreaker, and Noble comes off the top with a legdrop! Kash covers, 1…2…Yang comes in to break up the cover. Noble clotheslines Yang over the rope and takes himself with him. Kash springboards off the ropes, and gets a springboard sunset flip on Hayashi, 1…2…Hayashi just kicks out! Kash lifts Hayashi up for a release front slam! Another cover, 1…2…Hayashi kicks out again. R-Killa is here! R-Killa just smashed a glass bottle off the back of Jamie Noble! Kash sees him…springboard somersault plancha takes out Killa and Yang!

Joey Styles: “What the hell…that’s Mark Henry! What is Mark Henry of all people doing out here?!”

Mark Henry walks down to the ring. Taka Michinoku seems to think he’s here to help take out Kash and Noble…but Henry presses Taka over his head and throws him into the barricade! Henry comes into the ring and he presses Hayasi over his head and throws him into Taka! Kash is back on the apron, and he doesn’t know what to think. He goes for a springboard, but Henry catches him in midair and slams him to the canvas with power! Henry off the ropes…World’s Strongest Splash! R-Killa continues to beat the hell out of Noble, who was cut open by that bottle. Henry continues to splash Kash until R-Killa grabs a mic!

Winner: No Contest when R-Killa and Mark Henry interfered in 8:33

R-Killa: “Yeah, you boys want to talk? You want to talk? Well you’ve got yourselves a fight! You two come to SuperBrawl and me and my man Mark Henry, we going to wreck yo shit! You want to talk? You want to talk! We’ll it’s time to fight!”

Joey Styles: “Jamie Noble and Kid Kash might be in trouble. They have to contend with R-Killa and a man who is legitimately considered the strongest man alive? Like this isn’t just a billing. Mark Henry really is that strong! I know I need to objective…but they don’t stand a damn chance.”


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Joey Styles: “Paul Heyman is in the ring! Last week ECW Owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley told Paul that he was to come up with a match to determine the main event at Uncensored in March, an event that ECW will be headlining. Well, what we got Paul?”

Paul Heyman: “Ladies and gentlemen, for the past week I’ve been thinking and thinking and thinking. You see, Extreme Championship Wrestling, my baby. My life. ECW is looking at a bright future. On Sunday, March 24, 2002, ECW will headline the joint Pay-Per-View event Uncensored, and just three weeks later perhaps the biggest event in ECW history will take place. Barely Legal II. You know I always said I would never use the Barely Legal name again. But if there’s ever a time to do it, it would be the event that marks the peak of the REBIRTH OF ECW!”

“So as I said, I’ve been thinking, thinking, thinking all day and all night. We know that by decree of ECW Owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley that Rob Van Dam will challenge Brock Lesnar for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. And the main event of Uncensored should have as much championship experience as possible. At SuperBrawl…we will have The Extreme Brawl! All currently active former ECW World Heavyweight Champions will compete in an elimination falls-count-everywhere Extreme Brawl. Mike Awesome. Justin Credible. Mikey Whipwreck. The Sandman. Raven. Tazz. Jerry Lynn. The WINNER will face Brock…I mean the winner of Brock Lesnar and Rob Van Dam in the main event of Uncensored! Now how’s that Stephanie!”

***

We cut to the locker room where Lance Storm bangs his arm against the locker in frustration.

Dawn Marie: “Maybe…maybe he just forgot your name!”

Lance Storm: “Obviously not, he said former ECW World Champions. Ridiculous.”

Justin Credible: “Hey man, look, it sucks but me and Mike, one of us gonna win and win the title for all of Total Impact.”

Lance Storm: “I’ve got your back guys. But it’s still ridiculous.”

***

We then cut to an area that looks like the middle of nowhere…

Mikey Whipwreck: “Raven, Raven, did you see the news? The Extreme Brawl?”

Raven just sits there…then Stasiak, Malice and Shannon Moore attack Whipwreck! They beat the hell out of him and leave him lying.

Raven: “You are no longer a pawn when I move you to the appropriate square. You’re now a piece removed forever from the board Mikey. Someone let Heyman know that Mikey Whipwreck will not make it to SuperBrawl. So it is written, so it has come to pass.”

“Warriors, take care of this carcass.”


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::

Brock Lesnar makes his way out to the ring, but Paul Heyman stops him from attacking as he says “Stephanie will disqualify you…stop!” Lesnar says the match is over but does stop for Heyman. RVD grabs a mic.

Rob Van Dam: “Look, here’s what we’re going to do. We all know whatever match I pick, Shelton here is going to get involved. So I say, let’s involve him anyway. I just beat him right now so that shouldn’t be a problem for me.”

Brock Lesnar: “Me and Shelton vs. you? Sounds good to me!”

Rob Van Dam: “Yeah, I’m sure that would. And hey, had Shelton beat me here just now, perhaps you could have had that match. But no. I just know Shelton’s gonna get involved like he has recently. So, the match type I pick, is a Dream Partner Tag Team Match. I can’t imagine you’re going to pick anyone other than Shelton but hey, if you can, good for you.”

Paul Heyman: “Hey, hey, you know that’s not fair and you know why! As great as Shelton Benjamin is, if he gets pinned, Brock Lesnar shouldn’t lose the ECW World Heavyweight Championship! Unless you think you can’t beat him in that ring!”

Rob Van Dam: “Hey, that’s fair and I’m for it.”

Paul Heyman: “So it’s settled, to win the title, you have to beat Brock. That’s true for you and your partner! Brock, who are you picking.”

Brock Lesnar: “What kind of a dumbass question is that? I pick Shelton Benjamin.”

Paul Heyman: “I’m just make sure. Rob, who is your partner?”

Rob Van Dam: “Honestly, I think I’ll keep that under wraps for the week, but I can give you guys a small preview!”

Rob Van Dam points to the sky…and the crowd roars! Heyman is shown shaking his head…yelling “NO, NOT HIM!”

Joey Styles: “Is…he’s gotta be talking about Sabu! Oh my god! We gotta go!”

The crowd goes nuts and the last thing we hear is them chanting…

“SABU! SABU! SABU! SABU!”

::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Joey Styles: “Two night ago on RISE, Paul Heyman made the match involving seven former ECW World Heavyweight Champions. Raven took Mikey Whipwreck out of the equation when he had his Warriors beat the hell out of him at Raven’s behest. At SuperBrawl it’s the Extreme Brawl to determine the #1 Contender for the ECW World Championship. It will be two members of Total Impact, Mike Awesome and Justin Credible. It’s the Hardcore Icon The Sandman. It’s Tazz. It’s Jerry Lynn. And of course, it’s that miserable son-of-a-bitch Raven. Falls Count Anywhere. Elimination. Only one man will win.”

“The winner of the Extreme Brawl will face the ECW World Champion at the ECW headlined Uncensored pay-per-view. That will be decided in a unique way...in a Dream Partner Tag Team Match. But all accounts, ECW World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar has picked Shelton Benjamin. The challenger, Rob Van Dam, didn’t announce his partner, but he pointed to the sky on RISE and that has to mean Sabu! Van Dam and Sabu are multi-time ECW World Tag Team Champions. I have no idea who else RVD would be picking. Now, by the rules agreed to by Van Dam and Paul Heyman whoever is the partner can win the ECW title as well, but they have to beat Lesnar, not Benjamin. That’s ECW’s contribution to SuperBrawl XII.

“Also at SuperBrawl, Kurt Angle defends the WCW World Championship against both Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Christian defends the WCW US Title against Booker T. In a feud we’ve seen build over multiple episodes of RISE, Trailer Park Kash, Jamie Noble and Kid Kash take on R-Killa and his monster of a friend Mark Henry. The Giant takes on Test. The Dudley Boyz defend the WCW World Championship against the Legion of Doom. Diamond Dallas Page teams with Sean O’Haire and Chuck Palumbo against William Regal, Tajiri and Finlay. Lastly, we will crown a new Women’s Champion. Ivory, Jazz and Molly Marvel have all qualified. On Nitro, it will be Alexis Laree against Luna Vachon!”

Total Impact (Mike Awesome, Lance Storm and Justin Credible) (w/Dawn Marie) vs. The Hurricane, Nova and Blue Meanie

Winners: Total Impact when Awesome pinned Nova in 3:04

Scott Hudson: “Hello everyone, we are just six days from SuperBrawl XII! We have a packed show tonight, as Kurt Angle, Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin will sit together in the same ring and sign the contract for this Sunday’s main event! Also, we have a massive 10 Man Tag Team way tonight as Diamond Dallas Page, Sean O’Haire, Chuck Palumbo and the Legion of Doom take on William Regal, Tajiri, Finlay and the Dudley Boyz! Right now, it looks like Booker T is headed to the ring!”

Booker T makes his way out to the ring and grabs a mic.

Booker T: “I just got a couple of things on my mind and that is that SuperBrawl is six days away and I’m ready to take out Christian! Now Christian is one punk ass. Last week he tried to screw me over against Curt Hennig so I didn’t get this shot. Well too bad, I overcame, and I got it anyway. I haven’t had tons of chances recently to put gold around my waist and I wasn’t gonna let this one slip away because you tried to screw me! So I say, I say let’s not wait six days! I say, Christian, let’s do this now sucka!”

Booker T waits for Christian to come down…but instead Lance Storm of Total Impact makes his way down to the ring!

Lance Storm: “Opportunities? You want to talk about a lack of opportunities Booker? Seriously? You’ve won six WCW World Championships. You’ve had your chances. But me? Because of the lack of opportunities I’ve gotten in the past Paul Heyman didn’t even give me a shot at one at SuperBrawl. So I’m going to make my own opportunities. And that starts with me taking you out tonight!”

Booker T: “You wanna go? Lance Storm, if you wanna go, I dig it, let’s go!”

Booker T vs. Lance Storm

Booker and Storm lock-up and Booker gets an arm ringer to start. We get a clean break…until Storm pushes Booker. Booker takes it in stride. They lock-up again and Booker gets a hammer lock. Storm pushes Booker back into the corner and hits several shoulder thrusts and a European uppercut. Big punches from Storm. Booker reverses an Irish whip and hip tosses Storm! Punches from Booker, then a big slam! Booker comes off the ropes and Storm goes for the backdrop, only to get kicked in the face.

Christian pounds away on Booker T then slides him back into the ring. Lance Storm locks Booker into the Canadian Maple Leaf until officials force him to break the hold.

We cut back to William Regal’s office, as Regal is with Tajiri and Finlay.

William Regal: “Look, I don’t really like it either. We just get through tonight and we get in any shots we can on that miserable specimen Diamond Dallas Page or those two hoodlums Sean O’Haire and Chuck Palumbo. Avoid the Legion of Doom at all costs.”

The Dudley Boyz walk in…

Bubba Ray Dudley: “Did I hear you correctly Regal? I hope you boys aren’t planning on leaving us high and dry out there.”

William Regal: “No gentlemen, of course not…”

Bubba Ray Dudley: “Good. If you play your cards right, we can take care of that Torrie Wilson problem for you too.”

Tajiri begins to cackle wildly…

Bubba Ray Dudley: “What the hell’s wrong with him?”

William Regal: “Look, don’t mind him. We won’t abandon you gentlemen tonight. You have my word.”

Bubba Ray Dudley: “Well let’s see what that’s worth.”

We’re about to cut to a commercial on Nitro as a limousine arrives in the parking lot…


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


We come back to Nitro and we’re still on the limousine…and Triple H comes out of it! HHH heads inside the building, presumably for tonight’s contract signing!

Mike Tenay: “Coming up next everyone is the last qualifying match for the Women’s Championship Fatal-Four Way at SuperBrawl. Ivory, Molly Marvel and Jazz so far have qualified. We have two drastically different women here by experience. Alexis Laree, who’s relatively still new in the business but can definitely pull off the victory. Her opponent, the experience Luna Vachon who is absolutely capable of anything!”

Women’s Championship Tournament: Round 1
Alexis Laree (w/Curt Hennig) vs. Luna Vachon

Luna tackles Laree and slams her head against the mat repeatedly. Laree fights back and boots Luna and hits her with a neckbreaker. Cover, 1…2…Luna kicks out. Luna spears Laree down again and punches away. Luna sends Laree off the ropes and then boots her in the midsection, then hits a DDT! Spinning facebuster from Luna. Luna picks Laree up and drops her face first on the top turnbuckle for snake eyes, but when she comes off the ropes to follow through Curt Hennig trips her. Luna kicks Hennig in the head, but Laree takes advantage and spears Luna down! Cover, 1…2…Luna kicks out. Hennig gets on the apron, but Gangrel comes from the crowd and pulls Hennig down, and they go to blows! Laree goes for a frankensteiner, but Luna counters with a powerbomb! Luna heads to the top rope…Luna Eclipse! 1…2…3! Luna advances!

Winner: Luna Vachon via pinfall in 2:59

Curt Hennig and Gangrel keep fighting on the outside until they are broken up. Hennig yells out that he’ll take care of Gangrel later tonight!

***

Backstage, Jeremy Borash is with the Legion of Doom.

Jeremy Borash: “Gentlemen, you are six days away from challenging for the WCW World Tag Team Championship.”

Animal: “You damn right Borash! You see there are people out there who said we were dead! That we were finished! That the LOD were dead! You can slap us! You can punch us! You can kick us! You can knock us down! You can do anything to us but we ain’t going down without doing the same to you! We will always get back up! Dudley Boyz, you can take your commandments and shove ‘em! And if you don’t, we’ll do it for ya!”

Hawk: “You boys keep trying to hurt us physically. You can try all you want! Like Animal says we will come back and make it hurt worse for you! You boys ain’t too smart! I’m pretty sure the song “Brother, can you spare a brain” was written with you two in mind! You two gotta pay and at SuperBrawl not only will you pay with your bodies, you’ll pay with the belts! OOOO WHAT A RUSH!”

Jeremy Borash: “To Kevin Kelly!”

***

Kevin Kelly: “Thank you Jeremy I am with Luna Vachon congratulations on the victory tonight. Any thoughts going into SuperBrawl?”

Luna Vachon: “Heh heh heh no, no I don’t have thoughts. I have obsessions! I’m going to destroy all three of them this Sunday to claim MY TITLE…MY TITLE…”

Jazz attacks Luna from behind and the brawl is on! Jazz and Luna go at it until Molly Marvel comes and attacks Jazz. Ivory isn’t far behind as the four women competing for the Women’s Championship are brawling all over the back until they are finally broken up!


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Mark Henry (w/R-Killa) vs. Hugh Morrus

Morrus punches away at Mark Henry to basically no effect. Morrus comes off the ropes and goes for a body tackle, but he bounces off Henry and goes down himself. Morrus gets back to his feet and again goes to tackle Henry, but Henry quickly picks him and hits a full rotational powerslam! Henry whips Morrus into the corner and squashes him with a full body avalanche! Henry presses the 300 pound Morrus above his head…then drops him face first! Henry comes off the ropes and splashes Morrus! 1…2…3!

Winner: Mark Henry via pinfall in 1:46

Scott Hudson: “Ladies and gentlemen a reminder that this Sunday emanating from the Georgia Dome, it’s Superbrawl XII! Of course, the main event for the WCW World Championship, we have WCW World Champion Kurt Angle defending the title against Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin!”

Mike Tenay: “That’s right Scott. There are several matches that World Championship Wrestling has to offer…but I have the scoop here listen to this…making their returns to World Championship Wrestling at SuperBrawl, two prominent members of the WCW Cruiserweight Division. It’s going to be a battle of two multi-time World Cruiserweight Champions. Juventud Guerrera will take on Psicosis at SuperBrawl XII, with the winner getting a WCW World Cruiserweight title match the next night on Nitro!”

Scott Hudson: “Wow Mike, huge news for sure! Two of WCW’s best Cruiserweights in action at SuperBrawl! Now…as much as I’d like to continue, I see Brian Christopher is making his way out here for some reason…

Brian Christopher makes his way down to the ring, microphone in hand.

Brian Christopher: “Hey hey hey, now I’ve been back here in WCW and ECW for a couple weeks now, and I want to know why everyone here is so serious and so boring. I went to the bar the other night, and I found two guys, two WCW legends who I know love to dance! And I decided to bring them out here for a little Monday Night dance party! Everyone give a big warm welcome to The Disco Inferno and Alex Wright!”

Scott Hudson: “Oh no not these two clowns…”

Disco Inferno and Alex Wright make their way to the ring, dancing the whole way!

Brian Christopher: “You guys were always my favorite in WCW!”

Disco Inferno: “Thank you Brian! I’m here to do one thing, and that’s get the party started! You know, they say if you dance a lot, it makes you a better wrestler!”

Brian Christopher: “Oh yeah?”

Disco Inferno: “Yep, you can become better than the best? Steve Austin? Triple H? Kurt Angle? None of those guys would stand a chance if you dance as much as The Disco Inferno!”

Brian Christopher: “What about that ugly, smelly Giant?!”

Disco Inferno: “Sure him too! Let’s get the party started!”

Disco Inferno’s music plays as Disco, Alex Wright and Brian Christopher start dancing.

Scott Hudson: “Are we really going to waste everyone’s time with this…oh I may have spoken too soon!”

As Disco, Wright and Christopher dance, The Giant makes his way to the ring…clearly he heard what Christopher said. The trio notice him and back away in fear…as Test runs into the ring and chopblocks the Giant! Test has some sort of weapon with him and bashes the Giant’s knee over and over! Christopher, Disco and Wright all have their hands out…and Test hands them each a couple of hundred dollar bills! Test goes back to the Giant, pounding on the knee with what looks like a club of some kind! Test raises his arms over the fallen, and pissed off Giant as he heads to the back. The Giant struggles get to his feet, and he’s clearly angered by what Test just did!

***

Curt Hennig makes a point to avoid the limping angry Giant up the rampway as he comes out for his match.

Curt Hennig vs. Gangrel

Hennig and Gangrel punch away at one another right away, clearly a holdover from earlier. Gangrel nails Hennig with a big boot to the face, then rolls the staggered Hennig up, 1…2…Hennig kicks out. Gangrel comes off the ropes and catches Hennig with an elbow to the face! Gangrel off the ropes, he catches Hennig with a bulldog headlock! Another cover, 1…2…Hennig kicks out and retreats to the outside, clearly surprised with how things are going. Hennig slowly slides back into the ring and pokes Gangrel in the eye when he approaches. Hennig comes off the ropes and locks Gangrel in a sleeper! He slowly puts Gangrel on the mat and legdrops Gangrel low in a wishbone formation! Atomic drop from Hennig and then he backdrops Gangrel as Gangrel stumbles back towards him. Gangrel ends up in a sitting formation and Hennig catches him with a somersault cutter!

Gangrel goes dead weight though and hits a Northern Lights Suplex instead! 1…2…Hennig kicks out! Gangrel sets Hennig up for the Impaler DDT, but Hennig gets a low blow undetected from the referee. Hennig-Plex connects this time, 1…2…3!

Winner: Curt Hennig via pinfall in 6:04


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Backstage, Booker T is backstage and he runs into R-Killa and Mark Henry.

R-Killa: “Hahaha you see what happened Mark? Oh look it’s the super tough Booker T! He got punked out by Christian earlier! Ha!”

Booker T: “Oh yeah, here’s a real tough guy. You hide behind Mark Henry but yeah, you tough.”

R-Killa: “I don’t hide behind nobody! You getting close Book.”

Booker T: “Anytime you wanna go in the ring sucka, you om player. That goes for either one of you.”

Atomic drop from Finlay, then he wipes DDP out with a stiff clothesline! He tags in Bubba Ray Dudley who pounds away on DDP. Bubba hits DDP with three big jabs and then a bionic elbow! Bubba heads to the second rope…but the senton bomb misses! DDP makes it over to Hawk and Bubba Ray tags in D-Von! Hawk takes out both Dudley Boyz with clotheslines, and suddenly all ten men are going at it!

DDP goes for the Diamond Cutter, but D-Von hits him from behind, and they take out DDP with the Dudley Death Drop! Bubba Ray covers DDP, 1…2…Animal makes the save.

***

Shane McMahon makes his way through the locker room…


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


We come back to Nitro as Shane McMahon is in the ring. The ring is set-up with multiple tables and chairs for the contract signing. WCW World Champion Kurt Angle makes his way out first, followed by Triple H. After a few extra seconds, Stone Cold Steve Austin makes his way out as well.

Shane McMahon: “Gentlemen, in six days…”

Steve Austin: “Shut up!”

“This is a waste of time and to be honest with you I’m not really here for it. Quite frankly I don’t like or give a damn about you (pointing to Kurt Angle) and I absolutely hate your guts (pointing to Triple H). So if I can’t beat the hell out of anyone because of your little decree, I don’t want to be here. Shane give me the damn contract so I can sign it and get the hell out of here!”

Shane McMahon gives Stone Cold the contract and Austin signs it.

Steve Austin: “I’ll see you in Atlanta.”

Stone Cold flips off Shane, Angle and Triple H before walking up the ramp and to the back.

Shane McMahon: “Well then Kurt, Triple H, we can go ahead. You guys sign and that’ll be it.”

Triple H grabs the contract out of Shane’s hand and after looking over it, signs. He puts it on the table, making a point not to hand it to Angle. Angle signs it as well. Both men get in one another’s face before Angle raises the WCW World Championship over his head.

Triple H slowly backs away, then slowly heads up the ramp, where the big screen shows us a shot of his limousine. Suddenly, Stone Cold Steve Austin, driving a monster truck, comes into view and runs over the limo! HHH is left in absolute shock! Austin runs over it a second time before coming out of the limousine.

Steve Austin: Have fun driving to Atlanta you stupid son-of-a-bitch!”

Triple H runs to the back as Kurt Angle is left laughing in the ring about what he just saw. With that, Nitro goes off the air!

The theme of ECW plays, and then we cut to Joey Styles.

Joey Styles: “Hell everyone welcome to the go home RISE for SuperBrawl XII. I don’t know what we just saw but it looks like Jamie Noble and Kid Kash may not make it to SuperBrawl thanks to R-Killa and Mark Henry. But we have big problems here too…it’s “The Beast From the East” Bam Bam Bigelow! Bam Bam showed up on Hardcore TV last Saturday and wanted to know why he, as a former ECW World Heavyweight Champion wasn’t invited to the Extreme Brawl!”

Bam Bam Bigelow: “Plain and simple. I want in the Extreme Brawl and I don’t care who’s ass I have to kick to get in it! Heyman, come out now and give me what I want!”

Paul Heyman comes out but doesn’t get in the ring with Bam Bam waiting for him.

Paul Heyman: “I…I thought you were hurt! I didn’t know you can go!”

Bam Bam Bigelow: “I’m Bam Bam Bigelow I can always go! It looks like I’m going to have to beat the crap out of your pretty boy champion!”

Justin Credible and Mike Awesome two members of Total Impact come out.

Mike Awesome: “Hey boy! You had some damn nerve attacking us last week! I’ll give you what you want! We’ll do it right now!”

Mike Awesome comes down to the ring and the fight is on!

Winner: Mike Awesome via pinfall in 7:02

Lance Storm raises both of his stablemates’ arms in victory, as Justin Credible and Mike Awesome are headed to the Extreme Brawl in three days!


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


We come back to RISE and get a set of interviews set to “Misirlou”.




Tazz: “Three days. In three days one of the most violent matches in ECW history will take place. That’s the hype that’s going on. That’s what everybody’s sayin’. ECW is going to take SuperBrawl one of WCW’s flagship events, to the extreme. And you think about who’s in the match. You’ve got the guys like Sandman swinging canes and chairs and whatever. You’ve got the sickest minds in all of wrestling, mind’s like Raven’s, looking to manipulate his way to victory. You’ve got the ones who claim to make the most impact, whether it’s Justin Credible or the big monster powerbombing everyone left and right in Mike Awesome. Then there’s Jerry Lynn, putting his body on the line every night. All of them got somethin’ sure. But when the dust settles and all the smoke clears a wrestler is going to win the Extreme Brawl. See Lesnar, like you, I’m a wrestler. My hands are my weapons. And I’m going to put down and choke out all five of em’. Then I’m coming for you Lesnar. And Van Dam, if you manage to pull off the victory, you know what I’m about. And if you pick for a partner who I think you’re picking, he damn sure knows what I’m about. Beat me if you can…survive…IF I LET YOU!”

***

Jerry Lynn: “Heh, three days away from maybe the biggest match of my career. And I promise I’m more than ready. They all may want to talk a big game, but I know how to beat them all. There’s a reason I’m in this match too afterall. And while I no doubt will be ready for the monster that is Brock Lesnar, I’m hoping you win it Van Dam. That’s so once and for all I can show you who the real F’N’ show is! I broke out in ECW, and I plan to break out and make my way to the top again!”

***

The Sandman: “The King of Extreme! The Hardcore Icon! Every match, every bar fight, every chair shot, every table, I’ve proven it day in and day out that I earned those nicknames. And now I’m invited to a brawl? Sounds good to me. Sounds perfect to me. I’ve had wars with some of these men. Hell, I’m pretty sure the shit Raven and I have done to one another over the years could get us arrested in most of the world. What these guys need to remember is that I’m the five-time ECW World Champion. That’s what makes me the king of extreme. I promise you all one thing. Someone’s not walking out of SuperBrawl. Someone’s getting maimed. Someone’s career is going to end. And it ain’t gonna be me. Then Lesnar. Or Rob Van Dam. I’m gonna kick the shit out of guys too to get back my ECW World Heavyweight Championship.”

***

Raven: “Apparently there’s been some issue with the way I’ve conducted myself and the way that Mikey Whipwreck was taken out of the Extreme Brawl this Sunday. No doubt that some old wounds will be re-opened at SuperBrawl. But I look forward to nothing more than to destroy The Sandman physically one more time. I anticipate every moment between now and the moment take out that group of posers called Total Impact. And finally, after years of ducking me, I can put an end to anyone who thinks Tazz is a true innovator of hardcore. All these guys can fight, they can wrestle, they can hit anyone with chairs. But what they fail to comprehend is that I will bring the true pain. The true anguish. The type of pain I bring is one they all will never forget. They all look to forget the past. They all look to forget that it is I, Raven, who reigned as ECW World Heavyweight Champion when ECW finally broke through to Pay-Per-View. Tazz can take all the credit he wants. Just know that the Sandman was never the same after he experienced me. And I suspect that’ll hold true not only for the rest of you, but for the one that will hold the ECW World Championship after SuperBrawl. And when I’m done, you can go ahead and say hi to Mikey. Quote the Raven, nevermore.”


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


CW Anderson vs. Rob Van Dam

Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin stand at the entrance way to watch this match. Anderson ducks a couple of RVD kicks. They trade waistlocks before Anderson gets a headlock.

WCW/ECW SuperBrawl XII
PREVIEW

Mean Gene Okerlund: “Hello everyone. We are just 24 hours away from the twelfth annual SuperBrawl. SuperBrawl of course is one of WCW’s longest running and biggest events of the year, and this year will be no different. Let’s take a look at the final card!”

#1 Contender to the WCW Cruiserweight Championship
Juventud Guerrera vs. Psicosis

Mean Gene Okerlund: “This match was just announced by Mike Tenay on Nitro this past Monday. Both men are cornerstones of the WCW Cruiserweight division, and both are making their re-debut here. Both men are multiple time Cruiserweight Champions. Psicosis has won it twice, Juventud Guerrera three times. The winner of this match will face WCW Cruiserweight Champion Jerry Lynn the next night on Nitro!”

Diamond Dallas Page, Sean O’Haire and Chuck Palumbo vs. William Regal, Finlay and Tajiri

Mean Gene Okerlund: “At Souled Out Diamond Dallas Page pinned our commissioner William Regal. Regal didn’t seem to take this well at all, bringing in a fellow European friend in Finlay to take out Page. This of course all came about because of the relationship or should I say post-relationship issues between Tajiri and Torrie Wilson. DDP called upon Palumbo and O’Haire, who were denied a World Tag Team Championship match from Regal. It all comes to a head in a six-man tag at SuperBrawl.

World Women’s Championship – Four Way Elimination
Ivory vs. Jazz vs. Luna Vachon vs. Molly Marvel

Mean Gene Okerlund: “Throughout January and February the new women of WCW and ECW have been involved in a tournament to crown a Women’s Champion. Each of these women won their qualifier and now will be in a four-way match to determine the first World Women’s Champion!”

WCW United States Championship
Christian © vs. Booker T

Mean Gene Okerlund: “Both Christian and Booker T were looking at receiving a WCW World Championship shot, but neither were able to prevail in the four way match on Nitro. Booker T continued on and defeated Curt Hennig to receive a shot at Christian’s United States Championship. Christian won the title at Souled Out.”

WCW World Tag Team Championship
The Dudley Boyz © vs. The Legion of Doom

Mean Gene Okerlund: “Since the rebirth of WCW and ECW, the Dudley Boyz have taken down every single tag team put in front of them. This includes the likes of Kronik, Public Enemy and The Faces of Fear. But, after becoming victorious at Souled Out the Legion of Doom made their triumphant return to World Championship Wrestling. Just on this past Monday Night on Nitro, Hawk was able to pin Bunna Ray Dudley as part of a 10-Man Tag. I can’t help but feel the Dudley Boy reign of terror may be coming to an end.”

The Giant vs. Test

Mean Gene Okerlund: “It was at the Starrcade Pay-Per-View extravaganza where The Giant returned to World Championship Wrestling as Shane McMahon’s big signing. The Giant and Test got into a heated exchange leading to the Giant hitting the chokeslam on Test. Test would get a measure of revenge, booting the Giant and Kurt Angle off the stage at Souled Out in the middle of the WCW World Championship match. The Giant has been after Test ever since and gets him this Sunday.”



Mean Gene Okerlund: “I’d like to thank Drowning Pool for providing SuperBrawl XII of it’s theme song “Tear Away”. SuperBrawl is available on Pay-Per-View for $34.99. It comes to you live from Atlanta, Georgia in WCW’s home base, the Georgia Dome, this Sunday, February 24th, 7:30 PM EST, 8:30 PM Central.”

Mean Gene Okerlund: “Now, let’s send it to Joey Styles who will go over the two matches from Extreme Championship Wrestling.”

The Extreme Brawl: #1 Contender for the ECW World Championship
Jerry Lynn vs. Justin Credible vs. Mike Awesome vs. Raven vs. The Sandman vs. Tazz

Joey Styles: “Thank you Mene Gene. ECW is preparing for the road to Uncensored and the crown jewel of hardcore, Barely Legal II. The first match, the Extreme Brawl. Six former ECW World Heavyweight Champions go to war. Falls count anywhere. Anything goes. Elimination rules. Competing in the match we have “The New F’N’ Show” Jerry Lynn. Two members of Total Impact in Justin Credible and Mike Awesome. Raven. “The Hardcore Icon” The Sandman. “The Human Suplex Machine” Tazz. The last man standing will face whomever the ECW World Heavyweight Champion is at the ECW-headlined Uncensored!”

ECW World Championship: Dream Partner Tag Team Match
Brock Lesnar © and Shelton Benjamin vs. Rob Van Dam and Sabu

Joey Styles: “Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley made the decision that Rob Van Dam didn’t get a fair shake back at Starrcade and deserved another shot at the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. To determine the stipulation, Van Dam went one-on-one with Brock Lesnar’s college teammate/coach Shelton Benjamin. RVD came out on top and surprised everyone when he picked a Dream Partner Tag Team Match. ECW World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar naturally picked Shelton Benjamin. Who did Rob Van Dam pick? In my opinion the most insane s.o.b. in all of professional wrestling! He picked the former two time ECW World Heavyweight Champion, the “homicidal, genocidal, suicidal” Sabu! I don’t think any training Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin did at the University of Minnesota that prepared them for Sabu! On the rules agreed to by Paul Heyman and Rob Van Dam, Lesnar must be the one defeated in order to win the ECW World Heavyweight Championship and Sabu can win the title as well.” That’s it for me, back to Mean Gene!"

WCW World Championship
Kurt Angle © vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Triple H

Mean Gene Okerlund: “On Nitro on February 4, Stone Cold, Triple H, Booker T, and Christian went to war for this title opportunity. Austin and Triple H pinned Christian at the same time, leading to Shane McMahon to make the triple threat match for SuperBrawl. There is tons of history between these three competitors in just the short time frame of the last two years and it all comes to a head this Sunday. Can Kurt Angle continue his goal of being the new face of not only WCW but of all of professional wrestling? Is it still Triple H’s time? Is the era of Stone Cold Steve Austin continuing? You’ll have to order SuperBrawl to find out!”​

As this is a re-post, there is no prediction contest.​

WCW/ECW SuperBrawl XII
February 24, 2002
Georgia Dome
Atlanta, GA



Scott Hudson: “Welcome everyone to the Georgia Dome! Over 70,000 fans are in attendance nevermind the millions watching at home for SuperBrawl XII! Tonight, three of professional wrestling’s biggest stars, Triple H, Stone Cold Steve Austin and WCW World Champion Kurt Angle compete for the biggest prize in our industry. But we kick things off with two of the best pound-for-pound wrestlers in the world, Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis.”

Mike Tenay: “That’s right Scott. One criticism from the news outlsets, fair or not, is that the re-birth of the WCW brand hasn’t been “WCW enough”. Well let me tell you, Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera? It doesn’t get much more WCW that that. These two were a couple of the cornerstones for the WCW Cruiserweight division in classic WCW. Both men are multi-time former WCW Cruiserweight Champions. In a matter of moments, both men take the first steps toward adding another notch onto that accomplishment.”

Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis both have their masks on as they head to the ring, and each get a great reaction.

Psicosis heads to the outside and sends Juvi into the barricade. Psicosis sets Juvi up for a suplex, and turns it into a brainbuster on the floor! Psicosis climbs back into the ring, but instead of letting the referee count he heads to the top rope! Psicosis hits a flying senton from the top rope to Juvi on the floor! Psicosis slides back into the ring and the referee begins to count, and Juvi just isn’t moving. Referee gets to eight and Juvi shows some life! Nine…and Juvi is back on the apron.

He comes flying off, but Psicosis catches him with a dropkick!

Psicosis slams Juvi and looks to finish him off by heading to the top rope, but Juvi stops him by hitting the ropes. With Psicosis crotched on the top rope, Juvi springboards off the top rope and gets a diving hurricanrana on Psicosis from the top rope! Juvi covers, 1…2…Psicosis just kicks out. Juvi picks Psicosis up and plants him with the Juvi Driver! Juvi doesn’t go for the cover but instead drags Psicosis to the corner and heads up top. 450 Splash misses as Psicosis just moves out of the way! Now Psicosis is the one doing the dragging as he drags Juvi to the middle of the ring. Psicosis heads up top, but Juvi is back up and meets him up there.

We head backstage as Kevin Kelly sees that R-Killa and Mark Henry have entered the Georgia Dome.

Kevin Kelly: “R-Killa, R-Killa, a word?”

R-Killa: “Hell you want?”

Kevin Kelly: “Quite frankly we weren’t expecting you here after the match between you two and Trailer Park Kash was cancelled due to Mark Henry’s attack this past week…”

R-Killa: “The hell you sayin’? Don’t be putting it on The World’s Strongest Man that those two pieces of trash aren’t tough enough to make it here tonight. That’s on them. We making our own chances out here and we got our own business. Now get out my way honky!”

Scott Hudson: “Well, what could that mean?”

Mike Tenay: “I don’t know Scott. It can’t be anything good.”

Scott Hudson: “Anyway, coming up next, the final for the new World Women’s Championship. Jazz, Luna Vachon, Molly Marvel and Ivory all won matches on Nitro in order to qualify for this match.”

Mike Tenay: “That’s right Scott. Each competitor has had an interesting and different career path to this moment. Luna Vachon is an AWA/WWF/ECW/WCW mainstay. She’s competed for both the short-lived WCW Women’s Championship in the mid-90s and the WWF Women’s Championship, but has never won the title. This is her chance.

Ivory vs. Jazz vs. Luna Vachon vs. Molly Marvel

All four women quickly square off, with Luna and Jazz battering one another and Molly and Ivory going at it as well.

Scott Hudson: “Next, we have a six-man tag team match. The issues between these men go back to just after Starrcade in December. Tajiri and Torrie Wilson had broken up, much to William Regal’s delight. Diamond Dallas Page made the save when it looked like Regal and Tajiri had Torrie trapped. Regal brought in his friend from overseas Finlay. DDP enlisted the help of Sean O’Haire and Chuck Palumbo. This should be a good one!”

Diamond Dallas Page, Sean O’Haire and Chuck Palumbo (w/Torrie Wilson) vs. Wiliam Regal, Tajiri and Finlay

***

We go backstage into the locker room area…

Jerry Lynn: “AJ, I see you’re suiting up to go out there. Well I have something to teach you here. If you want it to matter, you gotta win the big ones on your own.”

AJ Styles: “Yeah? But I mean, I watched you win the title a couple of years ago, and that wasn’t on your own.”

Jerry Lynn: “That’s why I have to do this one myself.”

AJ Styles: “Alright, I got you.”

***

Joey Styles: “Ladies and gentlemen at home I’m Joey Styles here to bring you The Extreme Brawl. No disqualifications, falls count anywhere. Right now you are hearing “Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck” as Justin Credible and Mike Awesome hit the ring. Those two, as well as everyone in this match, is a former ECW World Heavyweight Champion. This is for a shot at the main event of Uncensored…the winner here faces the champion at the conclusion of the Dream Partner Tag Team Match later tonight!”

After Justin Credible and Mike Awesome enter, Jerry Lynn, then Tazz are the next to be announced. “Enter Sandman” plays and we get the Sandman’s extended entrance…but he’s attack by Raven in the crowd and the match starts!

Bubba Ray Dudley: “Hey Joey. How about you start talking about something relevant? How about you sit here and report on the Dudley Boyz putting an end to the Legion of Doom? You always want to talk badly about the Dudley Boyz…

Joey Styles: “I…I haven’t said anything!”

D-Von Dudley: “Shut up Joey! You ain’t listening!”

Bubba Ray Dudley: “We’re about to go into that ring and prove once again why me and my brother D-Von are the best damn tag team in the world! And I better hear you talk about that in the next few weeks! And, if I see you look at Stacy the wrong way we’re going to come back here and break your neck!”

Joey Styles closes his eyes as the Dudley Boyz make their way to the ring for the WCW World Tag Team Championship Match!

Scott Hudson: “I can’t believe that Spike Dudley would take the side of his half-brothers, weren’t they beating the hell out of him just a couple months ago?!”

Mike Tenay: “Who knows what goes on inside that head of his. Surely it’s a very disappointing result for the Legion of Doom. But the Dudleyz did stake a real claim for best tag team in the world, if not of all-time, with a big win tonight.”

Scott Hudson: “Up next, this is a match that’s been two months in the making. Can Test take down the revived Giant?”

The Giant vs. Test

The Giant tosses Test to the outside and raises his hand above his head. Test clearly can’t even stand and has to be helped to the back.

Scott Hudson: “Well, that did not last long at all. The Giant means business here and Test stood no chance right from the beginning. You’ve gotta wonder if Test regrets any of his actions the part few weeks against The Giant. I’m not even sure if the next match is ready…up next is the match for the WCW United States Championship.”

Mike Tenay: “This should be a good one. Both United States Champion Christian and Booker T were considered great tag team wrestlers. Both of them broke out of that branding by winning singles championships. Booker T is the more accomplished, he is a former six-time WCW World Champion, but Christian has shown that type of potential throughout his career as well. Booker T is a former United States Champion as well, let’s see if he can take home the gold again!”

Henry comes off the ropes and adds the World’s Strongest Splash before he rolls to the outside, collects R-Killa and escapes through the crowd. Christian gets his arm on Booker, 1…2…3!

Winner: Christian via pinfall in 8:49 (Retains)

Scott Hudson: “What a shame that R-Killa and Mark Henry came here at SuperBrawl XII and ruined a great United States Championship match! First, they ruin their own match by injuring their opponents, now this! Well, nonetheless we’re going to send it to Joey Styles for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship Dream Partner Tag Team Match.”

Joey Styles: “Thank you Scott. Definitely a shame about Booker T, hell we have to deal with R-Killa and Mark Henry on RISE too. Anyway, the time has come. If you’re a relatively new viewer, you will see the most insane competitor in that ring in Sabu. It’s Rob Van Dam and Sabu against The ECW World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin. If either Sabu or Van Dam beat Lesnar, they win the title!”

ECW World Championship – Dream Partner Tag Team Match
Brock Lesnar © and Shelton Benjamin vs. Rob Van Dam and Sabu

Lesnar demands that Benjamin start the match, but Benjamin is a bit apprehensive as Sabu stands across the ring from him. Lesnar tells Benjamin to just “wrestle him”. Benjamin circles Sabu…and Sabu dives for the leg. Benjamin evades and gets on top of Sabu, slapping him in the back of the head. Benjamin poses to the crowd after “besting” Sabu in the exchange, not seeing that RVD has thrown Sabu a chair! Benjamin turns around and Sabu rockets the chair right in Benjamin’s face! Benjamin tries to regain his bearings in the corner, but Sabu sets the chair up in the middle of the ring and hits him with Air Sabu! Benjamin rolls to the outside and is out on his feet, and RVD takes him out with a moonsault off the apron! RVD and Sabu then stand in the ring and challenge Brock to come in! Brock enters the ring and stands half a ring away from him. Paul Heyman and CW Anderson come down to the ring and Anderson trips and drags Sabu to the outside…and Lesnar uses the distraction to run over RVD with a clothesline!

Lesnar hits RVD with shoulder thrusts and hits a belly-to-belly suplex that sends RVD across the ring. Sabu rams Anderson into the barricade and bashes him over the head with a chair! Heyman feigns keeping order and tries to get Anderson out of there, but Sabu grabs him by his tie! Benjamin comes flying off the top rope with a somersault dive onto Sabu…taking out Heyman as well! Brock lifts RVD high in the air and hits a side backbreaker! Cover, 1…2…RVD kicks out. Anderson sets a table up on the outside and tries to put Sabu on it, but Sabu fights back and rams Anderson into the barricade. Benjamin is back in the ring and he and Lesnar pound away on RVD. RVD pops up and hits both Benjamin and Lesnar with jump kicks. As Benjamin is down, Sabu comes off the top rope with a chair and hits him with an Arabian Facebuster! Sabu and RVD each have chairs and swing away on Lesnar! After six or seven shots each RVD climbs the ropes to pose to the crowd while Sabu puts Lesnar in the Camel Clutch! RVD realizes Sabu could win the title right there…so he takes a chair and skateboards it in Lesnar’s face! This breaks the hold and Sabu gets in RVD’s face about it. RVD and Sabu seem to agree on something and they head to the outside.

Sabu puts a chair in Anderson’s face and RVD hits him with the Van Daminator! Anderson ends up on the table and Sabu puts a chair in the ring. He goes for Air Sabu through the table, but he gets stopped by Benjamin, who shakes the top rope and leads to Sabu getting crotched. RVD hits Benjamin with a springboard spinkick! RVD puts a chair in the ring and hits Benjamin with a monkey flip, with Benjamin landing on the chair! Sabu stands on the apron and RVD puts the chair on Benjamin…and they hit the classic Rolling Thunder-Legdrop combination! Lesnar attacks RVD and knocks him down. Lesnar picks RVD up on his shoulders for the F5, but Sabu throws a chair and hits Lesnar square in the face! Sabu then sets the chair up and leaps off it to the top rope, then hits Air Sabu through Anderson and the table on the outside! RVD hits Lesnar with the Split-Legged Moonsault and covers, 1…2…Lesnar just kicks out! Lesnar and RVD fight over the chair, which Lesnar wins. Lesnar swings for the fences but RVD ducks…and hits the Van Daminator! RVD heads to the top rope…Five Star Frog Splash connects! RVD covers, 1…2…Sabu drags RVD off Lesnar! Sabu and RVD argue again, clearly about who’s going to pin Lesnar. They seem to come to an agreement again, but when RVD turns around Sabu throws a chair to RVD’s back! Sabu sets up the chair and looks to hit Lesnar and RVD with Air Sabu…but Benjamin grabs Sabu and dumps him over the top rope and through a table with a T-Bone suplex! Heyman slides the ECW World Championship into the ring. Lesnar nails RVD with the title belt…then puts RVD on his shoulders…hitting an F5 on the open chair in the ring! Lesnar covers RVD, 1…2…3!

Winners: Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin when Lesnar pinned RVD in 17:15

Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin leave immediately with Paul Heyman. Sabu get back on his feet and shakes his head, looking at the bloodied Rob Van Dam in the ring. RVD staggers out himself, and he clearly looks pissed about Sabu as well.

Joey Styles: “I guess we should have seen that coming. As great a tag team Rob Van Dam and Sabu have been they’ve definitely had their issues as well. Deciding who would pin Lesnar to win the title, well, I guess in hindsight it’s clear they couldn’t figure that one out. It’s a damn shame that Brock escaped this one as well. And how much is Paul Heyman going to get away with? Anyway, back to Scott Hudson for the WCW Championship match.”

Scott Hudson: “Thanks Joey. Coming up, three of professional wrestling’s biggest stars compete for the richest prize in the business, the WCW World Championship.”

Michael Buffer: “It is now time for the SuperBrawl XII main event of the evening. And now ladies and gentlemen; three of the biggest in professional wrestling today are about to face each other in this ring for the Heavyweight Championship of the World!”

“ Are You Ready?”

“ Atlanta, Georgia... Are….You….REEEEEEEEADY?!”

“For the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world, ladies and gentlemen…”

“ LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!”

DROWNING POOL CONCERT

I'm tearing away
Pieces are falling,
I can't seem to make them stay
You run away
Faster and faster,
You can't seem to get away
Break
Hope there's a reason
For questions unanswered
I just don't see everything
Yes, I'm inside you
Tell me how does it feel
To feel like this
Just like I do
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone

Drowning Pool then switches up to their cover of “The Game”.

Time to play the game
Time to play the game
Time to play the game
It's all about the game, you'll fall like the rest
You're failure is my success
It's all about control, will you make it?
I will deliver the pain you can't take it
I'm in control, I am the pain
After this you won't be the same
This is my time, I make the rules
You mess with this and you'll die like a fool
Here comes the pain (pain)
Here comes the pain (pain)
Here comes the pain (pain)
Here comes the pain
Time to play the game

As Triple H makes his way to the ring, Michael Buffer continues…

Michael Buffer: “Making his entrance to the ring, he is considered to be not only one of the most technically sound wrestlers in the world, but also the most ruthless. His cunning gameplans to down opponents have earned him the nickname the “Cerebral Assassin”. Tonight, he looks to complete a journey of not only recovery, but triumph. From Greenwich, CT. Weighing in at 272 pounds. A four-time heavyweight champion of the world! He is “The Game”, he is Triiiiiiiiple H!”

Michael Buffer: “Also challenging, wearing solid black and standing 6’2”. He weighs in tonight at 252 pounds. From Victoria, Texas. He is considered to be the biggest box office draw in the history of professional wrestling. He is a former seven-time heavyweight champion of the world…this is…Stone Cold Steeeeeeeeve Austin!”

“Medal” plays as WCW World Champion Kurt Angle makes his way to the ring!

Michael Buffer: “The champion, wearing our nations colors of red, white, and blue. He stands at 6 feet tall, and weighs in tonight at 234 pounds. He is the 1996 Summer Olympics Gold Medal Winner in the Heavyweight, Freestyle category and is considered to be the greatest pound for pound wrestler in any style in the world. From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Tonight he looks to defeat not one, but two of the biggest wrestling stars in the world. He is the current reigning and defending WCW Heavyweight Champion of the world…Kuuuuuuuuuuuurt ANGLE!”

HHH stomps away at Angle, then brings him to his feet and sends him off the ropes. Drop toehold from HHH, and HHH still has his leg connected to Angle.

WCW Monday Night Nitro
February 25, 2002
Phillips Arena
Atlanta, GA

Scott Hudson: “Hello everyone, it’s been 24 hours from a historic SuperBrawl XII! We’re here tonight for the fall out of what happened last night. We know WCW World Champion Kurt Angle is here. We know Triple H is here. We know Stone Cold Steve Austin is not here after a brutal attack from Triple H last night…

“Enforcer” plays as ECW World Champion Brock Lesnar, Shelton Benjamin, CW Anderson and Paul Heyman make their way to the ring.

Scott Hudson: “…and apparently the ECW World Champion Brock Lesnar is here too?!”

Paul Heyman: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am the General Manager of Extreme Championship Wrestling. As you may have heard, ECW will be THE main event for the next Pay-Per-View extravaganza Uncensored. At that event, the most dominant heavyweight champion of all-time in any organization, this man, Brock Lesnar, takes on a legend of Extreme Championship Wrestling. The former WCW United States Champion. Tazz. Now I hear some cheers because, and rightfully so, many of you feel that this is an opportunity that Tazz has been held back from for the last two years. This is an opportunity for Tazz that he hasn’t had since I booked him in the original ECW. You might as well say this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Tazz. Unfortunately this is where Tazz’s luck ends. Because standing across from him at Uncensored is the holder of the richest prize in the game. The ECW World Heavyweight Champion. BROCK LESNAR!” Now, we are here tonight because part of the deal is that because Uncensored is traditionally a WCW event we need to promote this on Nitro. And quite frankly this show needed a kick in the ass anyway to get those ratings up so we’re glad to be here!”

Paul Heyman is silenced when “The Game” plays through the arena! Triple H makes his way down to the ring and is booed out of the building…which leads to another chant…

*YOU TAPPED OUT! YOU TAPPED OUT!*

Triple H: “Let’s just be clear about things. The record book shows that I didn’t tap out and the idea that someone like Kurt Angle could make me submit when the cards are on the line is laughable!”

“Now I see someone new in my ring. What do we have here…ECW World Champion huh? I don’t know what you’re doing here, but it’s only a matter of time before I win what belongs to me, the WCW World Championship. But If I have to take that belt you have around your waist first I’ll gladly do it!”

Brock Lesnar gets in Triple H’s face as Paul Heyman tries to hold him back.

Triple H: “Is this supposed to scare me? I’ve taken down a lot of big men in my time. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. It’s just how it is when you come face to face with “The Game”. But I’m going to let you keep your title. I’m not really here to fight you. I want Angle. He still hasn’t beaten me and I want my fair shot at the WCW World Championship!”

Paul Heyman: “I think that’s a much better idea!”

Triple H: “Yeah, I’m sure you do. So…”

“Medal” as WCW World Champion Kurt Angle makes his way out to the ring!

Kurt Angle: “First off Triple H, you can lie to yourself all you want. I did it, you felt it and everyone saw it, you tapped out last night!”

*YOU TAPPED OUT! YOU TAPPED OUT!*

Kurt Angle: “The way I see it, I’m done with you. I’m sure you’ll find your way into another title shot, god knows we can’t go too long without a title shot for Triple H! But you go figure that out with Shane McMahon or William Regal or whatever. Now as for you Mr. Lesnar. I have to admit I’ve been impressed with most of what you’ve done over at ECW. Hey, I’ve been on RISE. I know it’s tough over there. So I have a lot of respect for someone who’s been able to be the top guy. NCAA Champion too. Not bad. But let’s make something clear here…”

Angle holds up the WCW World Championship…

Kurt Angle: “THIS is the richest prize in this game! The holder of this title is the best in the world. And right now that’s me, Kurt Angle!”

Triple H: “I don’t care what I have to do, you’re going to give me that shot!”

Kurt Angle: “Or what? Gonna tap out to me again?!”

For the next surprise, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley makes her way out to the ring!

SMH: “Hunter, why are you getting involved in this for? What happened to staying out of each other’s business?”

Triple H: “The moment they stepped into a ring on Nitro, MY RING, it became my business.”

SMH: “Well, since you’re here…I think I can do this, I doubt Shane will have a problem. Let’s really hype up Uncensored! We’re going to do…the ECW World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar and my loving husband Triple H…against Kurt Angle and the #1 Contender to the ECW World Championship…Tazz!”

Everyone seems to shake their head in approval as we cut to commercial…we have our main event!


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Disco Inferno (w/Alex Wright and Brian Christopher) vs. Juventud Guerrera

Disco gets an elbow and a kick to start things off. He goes for a sidewalk slam, but Juvi counters into a flying head scissors! Juvi comes off the ropes and slides under Disco, then hits Disco with a chop. Juvi goes for a Rocker Dropper but Disco flips him over…but Juvi lands on his feet. Juvi dropkicks Disco into the corner. Juvi sends Disco across to the opposite corner, but Disco catches him charging with an elbow. Disco comes off the ropes but Juvi monkey flips him over the top rope! Juvi follows up with a springboard plancha that takes Disco out! As the referee is checking on Disco though, Alex Wright sends Juvi right into the steep steps!

Cover from Disco, 1…2…Juvi kicks out. Disco slams Juvi and heads to the second rope. We get a little dance…then Disco hits the flying knee drop! Another cover, 1…2…Juvi kicks out again. Disco sends Juvi off the ropes. Disco goes for a knee to the midsection, but Juvi avoids it and rolls Disco up, 1…2…Disco kicks out. Disco gets a shot to the midsection. Disco goes for a kick, but Juvi blocks, spins Disco around and takes him out with a jumping spin kick! Disco is quickly back to his feet and Juvi sends him off the ropes. Juvi catches Disco with a hurrcanrana with a pinning attempt…1…2…Disco just kicks out! As soon as Disco gets up he walks into the Juvi Driver…but Brian Christopher and Alex Wright jump Juvi and the match is thrown out.

Winner: Juventud Guerrera via DQ in 7:01

Brian Christopher, Disco Inferno and Alex Wright all beat up Juventud…but they don’t realize the man they crossed last week is on his way to the ring! It’s The Giant! The Giant comes into the ring and grabs Christopher by the throat…Chokeslam! He grabs Wright by the throat, and he gets a Chokeslam as well! Disco still somehow doesn’t realize what’s happening and starts to dance…and he too is Chokeslammed. The angry Giant walks off leaving carnage in the ring!

Stephanie and Shane McMahon are watching Nitro in Shane’s office, and then continue a conversation…

Shane McMahon: “I mean, I didn’t expect you to make matches all of a sudden for Nitro but I happen to like it so it’s on. But I do feel like it’s missing a little something.”

There’s a knock on the door. Shane says to come in, and WCW Commissioner William Regal enters.

Shane McMahon: “So I gotta ask you are you happy with yourself?”

William Regal: “No sir but If I can explain...”

Shane McMahon: “No I’m going to explain something to you. Enough of these vendettas or whatever. You got beat by Diamond Dallas Page multiple times now. You’re my commissioner! I need you to get serious. And I need you to be impartial.”

SMH: “I swear it’s like I’m listening to myself here.”

Shane McMahon: “So what have you got for us tonight.”

William Regal: “Well, I thought it would be best that since Diamond Dallas Page, Sean O’Haire and Chuck Palumbo did beat us last night, they deserve to be rewarded.”

Shane McMahon: “That actually sounds like a good idea.”

William Regal: “So, O’Haire and Palumbo, they’ll get a title shot against the Dudleyz. And Page. He’ll take on Christian for the US title.”

There’s another knock on the door…Paul Heyman, Brock Lesnar, Shelton Benjamin and CW Anderson enter the office.

Shane McMahon: “So that sounds good Regal. More of that. You can go.”

SMH: “Honestly Paul I wish you were here for that. Anyway Shane, I wanted to get us all together here. Let’s get ready for the road to Uncensored.”

Shane McMahon: “Brock Lesnar. Gotta say I’m impressed man. And I gotta say I’m a fan too of you Shelton.”

Paul Heyman: “Shane you have no idea the potential these men have. We’re happy to be on Nitro and we’re looking to have a big month!”

Shane McMahon: “Yeah. Well that’s good. I just wonder if you’d be as happy if Rob Van Dam and Sabu were here right now instead.”

Brock Lesnar: “Hey, let me make something clear here. We’re here because Rob Van Dam can’t beat me.”

Shane McMahon: “Okay, okay….”

Triple H barges into the office…

Triple H: “This is ridiculous! All of it. I want my shot!”

Shane McMahon: “Hey, calm down! You had your shot last night. And you aren’t the champion right now. That’s on you! But I’ll give you a chance. You know, I see what’s missing tonight. Triple H, your team wins tonight, I’ll give you your shot on Nitro next week! But this two against two deal. I’m not feeling that. You know Paul I am excited to have Brock here. But honestly, I’m just as excited to see Shelton wrestle tonight too. So let’s expand a little bit. Triple H. Brock Lesnar. Shelton Benjamin. Against Kurt Angle. Tazz. And…”

Shane looks at the monitor he and Stephanie have been watching…

Shane McMahon: “…and The Giant!”

Triple H looks at Brock and Shelton…

Triple H: “That sounds good to me. But if either you two screw me over tonight…I’m coming for that *points to the ECW Title*.

***

Backstage, Jeremy Borash is with Booker T.

Jeremy Borash: “Booker T, you were unsuccessful in capturing the WCW United States Championship last night, and a big reason for that are the actions of R-Killa and Mark Henry.”

Booker T: “Yeah, no kiddin’. You know before Borash it was just words between me and R-Killa. He wanted to talk tough, and I can deal with that. But to come out to the ring during my match at SuperBrawl. To cost me the US title? That’s a declaration of war to me. So he wants to go to war? I’m down with it. I’m going to teach that boy something about being tough. I’m going to kick his ass the next chance I get. And that goes for Mark Henry too. For what I know they ain’t here tonight. What a surprise. Hit and run. But some day sucka, and that day is soon I promise, I’m going to kick both their asses. I promise you that, sucka!”

Backstage, Jeremy Borash is with the new World Women’s Champion Molly Marvel!

Jeremy Borash: “Molly Marvel congratulations are in store as you defeated three of the toughest women in the world last night to become champion.”

Molly Marvel: “Thank you Jeremy. I’m proud of how things went last night and happy to be the Women’s Champion, but I know that the fight has just begun. I may not wear the green super hero cape anymore, but I’m still going to go out there and be a role model for anyone who’s willing to fight and earn their dreams…”

Ivory interrupts…

Ivory: “Are you kidding me? Last night was a fluke Molly. You stand no chance at all beating me one-on-one! You could never do it. Right now you’re holding MY title!”

Molly Marvel: “Well I’m ready to fight when you are. You want a shot? Next week you’ve got it!”

Ivory seems happy with that…but suddenly Jazz attacks Molly! Ivory decides to keep her distance when Jazz attacks. Jazz leaves Molly lying without saying a word!

Christian © vs. Diamond Dallas Page (w/Torrie Wilson)

Kurt Angle, Tazz and The Giant vs. Brock Lesnar, Shelton Benjamin and Triple H (w/Paul Heyman and CW Anderson)

Tazz wants to start with Lesnar, but Benjamin steps into the ring. Tazz pounds away on Benjamin, hitting him with huge right hands over and over again. Tazz then tosses Benjamin into his corner and calls out Lesnar again. The Giant blind tags himself in, to Tazz’s frustration. Benjamin runs at The Giant but gets caught with a huge headbutt. Giant props Benjamin in the corner and slaps Benjamin hard on the chest! He grabs Benjamin by the head and tosses him across the ring!

Giant throws HHH into he corner and kicks away. Giant grabs HHH by the throat, but on the way up HHH rakes his eyes. Giant stumbles back and tags in Angle, while HHH tags in Lesnar!

The two world champions stand up to one another face to face! They circle one another…but Benjamin runs in and gets hit by an Angle punch. This allows Lesnar to nail Angle. Lesnar props Angle up in the corner and hits shoulder thrusts. Lesnar gains a full head of steam but Angle moves out of the way and Lesnar hits the corner. German suplex from Angle! Angle goes for the Ankle Lock, but Lesnar rolls through it and Angle runs right into the turnbuckles. Angle turns around into maybe the F5, but Angle slides behind him and hits him with another German Suplex! Angle holds onto Lesnar and plants him with another German! Then a third! Then a fourth! Fifth one Angle releases! Angle gets back to his feet and roars to the crowd…only HHH illegally comes in and nails him in the back of the head! Lesnar crawls over and tags in Benjamin.

Benjamin stomps away on Angle. He takes Angle of the corner and impressively takes him down with a waistlock takedown. Angle fights his way back to a vertical base, but Benjamin takes him down with another clothesline. Benjamin goes for a kick, but Angle catches it.

ECW RISE
February 28, 2002
Conseco Fieldhouse
Indianapolis, IN

We see a rental car drive into the parking lot…and out comes Danny Doring and Roadkill…holding the ECW World Tag Team Championship belts?

Danny Doring: “Enough of this waiting shit, tonight we’re going to make our presence known. We’re the champs and it’s time to remind everyone of that!"



The theme of ECW plays, and then we cut to Joey Styles.

Joey Styles: “Hello everyone I’m Joey Styles. Right now Rob Van Dam is headed to the ring! Unfortunately for Van Dam his partnership with Sabu at SuperBrawl backfired.”

Rob Van Dam: “Alright, let’s cut to the chase. You know I should have realized that the deal with Sabu this past Sunday was going to end as it did. But that doesn’t mean I’m happy about it. So Sabu, get out here now and let’s hash this out one way or another!”

Sabu wastes no time as he runs down to the ring. He looks like he’s going to attack RVD, but holds himself back.

Rob Van Dam: “Yeah, you keep that up I’ll kick you in the face right now. I hope what happened Sunday was worth it for you Sabu. I should have known that your true colors were going to come out like they always do. I brought you back here and this is how you thank me? Well that’s fine Sabu. I’ve beaten you before, and I’ll beat you again if that’s what it takes for you to realize that it’s me, not you anymore, who’s the whole fuckin’ show!”

Sabu gets right into RVD’s face and grabs his t-shirt.

Rob Van Dam: “Yeah, go ahead Sabu. One punch and I’ll knock you out!”

Unknown Voice: “Both of you stop it already! Just stop!”

Bill Alfonso, former manager of Rob Van Dam and Sabu runs down to the ring and gets himself between the two.

Bill Alfonso: “For years it’s the same problem with you two! Why do you always want to tear each other apart? When we were together…you were the two-time ECW World Tag Team Champions baby! No one could beat you two. You’re all better than everyone! You two beat The Dudleys. Shane Douglas, Chris Candido, Jinsei Shinzaki, Hayabusa, any team that came up against you two had no chance! Look, I’m sure the fans wanna the greatest team, the best team in ECW history work together again! They want to see Rob Van Dam and Sabu kick everyone’s asses, including Brock Lesnar’s!”

Rob Van Dam and Sabu come face to face. It looks like Sabu still wants to fight, but RVD nods his head and Sabu eventually seems to be on the same page…just as “Super Bon Bon” plays…here come Danny Doring and the Amish Roadkill, with the ECW World Tag Team Championship belts!

Danny Doring: “Oh would you look at that. Once again, ECW is dedicating all their TV time to two guys who would jump ship at the first sign of money! You know when I saw Sabu return to ECW last week, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. When ECW started back up, I figured, hey, we’d get the call. We are the reigning ECW World Tag Team Champions afterall. And yeah, we got a match or two. But after that. No calls. That’s what loyalty will get ya! So me and Roadkill said ‘fuck it!’ We’re here to make our own damn statement. Rob Van Dam and Sabu, you might be two-time ECW Tag champs…but you never beat us! No one has! That’s why we’re the champs now! We’re going to get the recognition we deserve, and if that means beating Rob Van Dam and Sabu that’s what we’ll do. And we’ll put these belts on the line!”

Bill Alfonso confers with Rob Van Dam and Sabu…and both seem ready for the opportunity.

Joey Styles: “Are…are these titles even sanctioned by ECW?!”

ECW World Tag Team Championship
Danny Doring and Amish Roadkill © vs. Rob Van Dam and Sabu (w/Bill Alfonso)

RVD and Doring start. They lock up and RVD gets a side headlock. Doring counters with a hammerlock, but RVD gets a spinkick breaking that up and knocking Doring down. RVD already poses for the crowd, but when he bows Doring quickly catches him with the moss covered three handled family gradunza! Quick cover, 1…2…RVD kicks out. Doring tags in Roadkill. Roadkill climbs the ropes (not the turnbuckles), but legdrop misses as RVD moves out of the way and tags in Sabu! Sabu dives at the leg of Roadkill and takes him down! Elbowdrop misses, but Sabu is back to his feet right away. Sabu hits punches then dropkicks Roadkill in the shin. Sabu sends Roadkill into the corner where Roadkill hits face-first. Sabu comes off the ropes and springboards into a Tornado DDT! Cover, 1…2…Doring comes in and breaks up the pin, and RVD hits him with a spinning heel kick that sends him to the floor. RVD comes off the ropes and takes out Doring with an over-the-top-rope somersault plancha!

Bill Alfonso tosses a chair into the ring and Sabu sets it up. He runs for the Triple Jump Moonsault, but Roadkill holds onto the foot and Sabu crashes face first into the chair! Roadkill puts Sabu on his shoulders and hits a Samoan Drop! Cover, 1…2…Sabu kicks out. Roadkill smashes the chair on Sabu’s back, but turns around into a Van Daminator from RVD! Alfonso slides a table into the ring and RVD puts Roadkill on it. Sabu comes off the top rope and dives onto Doring on the outside! Sabu slides Doring in and brings in a second table. He puts Doring on the table, then RVD and Sabu heads to the top rope! Stereo legdrops through Doring, Roadkill and the tables! Double cover, 1…2…3!

Winners: Rob Van Dam and Sabu via double pin in 7:13 (New Champions)

Bill Alfonso hands the titles to RVD and Sabu, and while there’s some reluctance both each grab one of the belts and RVD specifically nods towards Sabu.


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


We see the new WCW Cruiserweight Champion Psicosis and Essa Rios somewhere outside of the arena, both laughing and celebrating. Notably, Essa’s hair is no longer red, but black, and he’s wearing a shirt that says ‘Papi Chilo’, one of his old aliases.

Psicosis: “Everyone knows now that I’m the best cruiserweight in the world. I have the proof now. If anyone wants a shot at us, bring it on! ECW, WCW, WWF, Japan, Mexico, anyone, anytime!”

Psicosis and…Papi keep celebrating as we cut away from them.

R-Killa (w/ Mark Henry) vs. The Sandman

Sandman swings his cane like a nutcase, causing R-Killa to bail to the outside. R-Killa says that he’s not getting into the ring until Sandman gets ride of the cane. Mark Henry gets on the apron and Sandman takes a swing at him but misses. R-Killa runs in…and Sandman cracks him in the face with a wicked cane shot! Sandman hooks R-Killa’s head and gets a bulldog and goes for a pin, 1…2…R-Killa kicks out. Sandman starts whacking R-Killa with the cane over and over, then hits him with the White Russian Legsweep! Sandman doesn’t go for a cover, but instead hits the ugliest plancha to the outside on Mark Henry! Henry sort of catches him though and hits the World’s Strongest Slam on the floor. Henry slides in a chair and rolls Sandman back into the ring. R-Killa hits Sandman with the chair, then places the chair in the middle of the ring. R-Killa hits the Truth May Set You Free on the chair….and at the same time Booker T has run in from the crowd! Booker is all over R-Killa. Mark Henry runs in with a chair, but gets it Harlem Sidekicked into his face! R-Killa uses that distraction to run away through the crowd. Booker grabs Henry and hits the Bookend on the chair! ECW gets a Spinarooni for good measure as well!

Winner: No Contest in 4:11


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Paul Heyman, ECW World Champion Brock Lesnar, Shelton Benjamin and CW Anderson make their way to the ring.

Paul Heyman: “Brock Lesnar I’d like to congratulate you on retaining the ECW World Heavyweight Championship at SuperBrawl XII. Once again you proved to me that you are the most deserving competitor to be ECW World Heavyweight Champion. And now the countdown has begun to Uncensored. Before you Brock, I would have considered Tazz to be the greatest ECW World Champion of all-time, but you’ve surpassed him in every way. And I knew it when I discovered you. You will be the key for ECW to become the dominant brand in professional wrestling like I always imagined! And I can’t wait. Maybe Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley doesn’t realize what she has here. Brock Lesnar isn’t just a dominant champion. He’s box office. Brock Lesnar will soon be the biggest box office fighter of any kind in all of combat sports! And his roots will always come from ECW! I sense that Brock Lesnar will hold the ECW World Heavyweight Championship as long as he wants to! And that’s what ECW needs!”

Tazz’s old ECW theme, “Survive f I Let You” plays! Tazz comes down to the ring, and even though he’s outnumbered three-to-one he shows no fear entering.

Tazz: “Let’s make something clear Heyman. You can talk and bullshit out here all you want tonight, but no matter what that big bastard wants, I will choke him out in the main event on March 24 in Chicago, at Uncensored! You think I’ve lost my edge Paul I know you do. But I went out that last Sunday and beat not just five guys on the street. But five champions, five ECW World Heavyweight Champions, I beat them all to get this shot. You see I realize this may be my last shot at the title. You see, younger Tazz. He caused a riot trying to get an ECW World title shot. Hell I made up my own belt, the “Fuck The World” belt to make a point. I’m not going to do that this time because I do respect you Lesnar. I respect that you hold the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. You’re a monster. I get it. But I’m going to kick your ass in a few weeks. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. And Heyman, if you, Benjamin or Anderson get involved, I’m beating the shit out of you too!”

“My Time” plays as Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley comes out to the stage.

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley: “You know it’s interesting that you mentioned Paul getting involved Tazz. Paul, I have to say, what the hell? I’ve told you more than one time about being objective and you just ignore me. This is your last straw Paul!”

Paul Heyman: “But I didn’t do anything!”

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley: “Oh no? Was that not you leading CW Anderson out to the ring at SuperBrawl during the Dream Partner Tag Team Match? You may seem to think you’re doing the right thing by aiding Brock Lesnar in his defense of the ECW World Championship. But it ends now. Next week, we’re going to have a match. CW Anderson, you’re going to take on the #1 Contender Tazz. And Heyman, if I even remotely see you around the ring for that match, I will fire you on the spot!”

Everyone in the ring is looking down the ramp at Stephanie…so Tazz uses this moment to climb on Brock Lesnar’s back and lock-in the Kata Ha Jime, The Tazmission!

Joey Styles: “Tazz has the Tazmission locked in on Lesnar and I think the champ might be tapping! Shelton and Anderson, they’re trying to break it up, they’re stomping the hell out of Tazz! Hey it’s Rob Van Dam and Sabu! They’ve come down to even the fight! Total Impact is out here now! There’s Jerry Lynn and AJ Styles! We have the whole damn locker room out here and we gotta go! We will see you next week! Oh my god!”
week! Oh my god!”

::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Scott Hudson: “Hello everyone. It’s been a crazy week for WCW and ECW. Just six nights ago Kurt Angle retained his WCW World Championship by making Stone Cold Steve Austin submit in the triple threat match. The big news is after the match, Triple H beat the hell out of Stone Cold Steve Austin’s knee with a sledgehammer! As a result Austin had several torn ligaments and his return, if he can return, is unknown and questionable at this time. The next night on Nitro Triple H lobbied for another championship shot and his team had to win the main event. Unfortunately for Triple H, Tazz made Shelton Benjamin submit causing his team to lose.”

Mike Tenay: “It was definitely a crazy week for WCW. ECW too is on a roller coaster as they crowned new ECW World Tag Team Champions in Rob Van Dam and Sabu and of course, they are the main event at Uncensored as Tazz challengs ECW World Champion Brock Lesnar. But does that mean the WCW World Championship will be defended? We’ll find out this week.”

Scott Hudson: “Something else to point out, at SuperBrawl, WCW Cruiserweight mainstays Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera had a thrilling contest. Psicosis prevailed, and the very next night defeated Jerry Lynn for the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship. We’re going to see Guerrera shortly. I have to say I’m excited about the development of the Cruiserweight division.”

Mike Tenay: “This week on Nitro Psicosis new friend Papi Chilo, formerly Essa Rios, will take on Jerry Lynn’s partner AJ Styles. Could it be Styles’ turn to get a shot at the Cruiserweight Championship?”


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs Juventud Guerrera

Juvi gets an arm wringer out of the opening lock-up, but Chavo quickly counters into one of his own. Chavo into the hammerlock, but Juvi turns that into a front facelock. Chavo again counters into the arm wringer, but Juvi rolls and flips out of it…only for Chavo to trip him. Quick cover from Chavo but no count at all. Juvi gets a trip and a cover but Chavo kicks out before one as well. Juvi kips up right into Chavo’s face. Chavo piefaces Juvi, then catches Juvi with a headlock takeover when Juvi runs in from frustration. Juvi gets a head scissors to break free, then counters the hip toss into one of his own.

Juvi gets to his feet and Chavo runs right at him…right into a Juvi Driver! Juventud Guerrera to the top rope…450 Splash! 1…2…3!
